Title: Circuit for measuring battery current
Inventor: GOTO SEIJI
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1992-05-29
Abstract: A current measuring circuit for measuring discharging current and charging current of a battery (10), which is selectively connected to a load (20) and a charger (21). The current measuring circuit comprises a resistor (RA) connected in series with the battery having a sufficiently low resistance value as not to substantially restrain the output current from the battery and a differential amplifier (1b) for amplifying a potential difference between both ends of the resistor. By providing a switch (8, 9) for short-circuiting one input terminal and the other input terminal of the differential amplifier, an offset/drift voltage of the differential amplifier can be obtained. This offset/drift voltage is used for correcting the output voltage from the differential amplifier at the time of current measurement and, thereby, the discharging current and charging current of the battery can be measured accurately.

Abstract: The invention relates to a carrying frame (1) with approximately rectangular adjusting openings (2) and, extending between these, webs (3), for receiving in particular plant pots, the webs (3) comprising the adjusting openings (2) and having a U-profile which is open on one side, and also one surrounding edge (4) of an adjusting opening (2) is formed by a U-leg of the U-profile. In order to indicate a carrying frame which is advantageous for use, which is as stable as possible and yet can be used in a variable manner, the invention proposes that in the opening direction of the U-profile and at a distance therefrom, assigned to an adjusting opening (2), a circumferential belt (5) is designed, which likewise delimits an approximately rectangular opening (6) and that the circumferential belt (5) is fastened to the U-profile via connecting webs (7, 8), starting from the surrounding edge of an adjusting opening (2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A burning damage protecting apparatus and method for a printing head in a printer comprising a printing head actuating circuit (2) having a driver (3) and a coil (4), a headpin-driver actuating electric power source (5) which is connected to the printing head actuating circuit (2), a voltage monitor (6) connected to the headpin-driver actuating electric power source (5), and a micro processing unit (1) connected to each of the printing head actuating circuit (2), the headpin-driver actuating electric power source, and the voltage monitor (6); in which, the micro processing unit (1) turns on the headpin-driver actuating electric power source (5) for a first predetermined short time and subsequently turns off it immediately after the printer is turned on, and measures a voltage based on a signal fed from the voltage monitor (6) at the timing the headpin-driver actuating electric power source (5) is turned off, and then measures a voltage in the same manner as above measurement after a second predetermined short time has elapsed, still further judges whether the driver is normal or not based on the difference between the voltage at the timing the first predetermined time has elapsed and the voltage at the timing the second predetermined time has elapsed, and consequently prevents electric current from flowing in the coil (4) by not turning on the headpin-driver actuating electric power source (5) when an abnormal condition is detected.

Abstract: A contactless EPROM cell array in accordance with the present invention comprises an N+ source line formed in the silicon substrate. First and second N+ drain lines are formed in parallel with and spaced-apart from the source line on opposite sides of the source line. First and second field oxide strips are formed in parallel with but spaced-apart from the first and second drain lines, respectively, such that the source line/drain line structure is bounded on both sides by the first and second field oxide strips to separate this structure from adjacent similar source/drain line structures. First and second polysilicon 1 lines overlie the channel regions between the first drain line and the source line and the second drain line and the source line, respectively, and are separated therefrom by a first layer of dielectric material. A plurality of spaced-apart, parallel polysilicon 2 word lines overlie and run perpendicular to the first and second polysilicon 1 lines and are spaced-apart therefrom by a second dielectric material. Thus, the EPROM cells of the array are defined at each crossing of the polysilicon 1 lines and the polysilicon 2 word lines.

Abstract: In the test method, a test current is applied in three steps which rises to the order of magnitude of the rated current value at a maximum in the first step and rises to a value of the order of magnitude of twice the rated current value at the maximum in the second step and corresponds to the test standard applicable to the relevant contact in the third step. In each of the three steps, the voltage drop upon the contact is measured and a positive test criterion is derived when the voltage drop in each case does not exceed a threshold value specific to the relevant step. This threshold value depends on the respective rated current and the contact pressure and corresponds to a power of no more than one watt at the closed contact in the first step, and to a power of no more than two watts in the second step. In the third step, an application-specific contact resistance which is below 50 mOhms in every case should not be exceeded. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Pulse transit times of pulses which are triggerable by a trigger pulse are to be measured, returning pulses being detected by a detector and supplying detector signals. The device contains a clock generator (12) and a counter (10), to which signals of the clock generator (12) can be applied and which can be reset by a first trigger pulse. In this arrangement, the count is simultaneously transmitted by a detector signal to a memory (14). A comparator (16) compares the count with the stored count. An analog ramp circuit (44) can be switched on by a signal (102) which can be triggered by the comparator (16) in the case of equality of current count and stored count after a second trigger pulse (86). The ramp circuit is stopped by a detector signal (106). Thus, a coarse digital measurement is taken by using the counter after a first trigger pulse. As determined by this coarse measurement, a switch-on time for the ramp circuit is then determined. A fine measurement is taken by analog means by means of the ramp circuit after a second trigger pulse. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A computer-based training system (CBT) has one or more Application Translation Units (ATUs 340), a message engine (350), and a script engine (320). For one or more target application (360) of interest, an ATU is provided for processing events specific to that application, thereby trapping events and translating them into abstract messages or "meta-messages" for conveying information about a particular event to the system. A general operating system ATU is also provided for trapping general system events. Translated event messages are processed by event handlers (450). System or application-specific messages which are not of interest are simply allowed to pass through. The individual handlers dispatch their respective messages to the script engine (320), which includes instructions for directing the activity of the target application(s). The script engine (320), in turn, acts upon an incoming message. The dispatched message triggers appropriate action (as specified by instructions within the script).

Abstract: An output buffer circuit for limiting ground bounce or output signal ringing. The output buffer utilizes two pull down transistors connected to two separate grounds as well as two pull up transistors connected to two separate V DD  power supplies. When the buffer output is switched from high to low, a one shot switching means is provided for switching on a first pull down transistor connected to a noisy ground for a short time delay period allowing ground bounce to occur on the noisy ground, and then switching on the second pull down transistor connected to a quiet ground while switching the first pull down transistor off. Similarly, the one shot switching means switches between the two pull up transistors to limit output signal ringing on a quiet V DD  power supply. The buffer circuit further includes a lead frame with separate noisy and quiet ground leads terminating in a single pin, with the noisy and quiet ground leads overlying a floating conductive plane to reduce mutual inductance. Further, buffer input signal polarity control is provided with a limited number of gate delays.
